As if Curtis Payne didn’t already have enough to deal with as the Fire Chief of Engine Company Five, the doting husband to his beautiful wife, Ella, and as an overly patient father to his freeloading son, Calvin, he now has to take in his nephew, Clarence “C.J.” Payne, Jr. and his family.

C.J., his wife, Janine, and their two crumb-snatching kids, Malik and Jazmine, immediately take over and make Curtis feel like a peon in his own castle. And when unforeseen circumstances turn C.J. and his family’s temporary stay into a permanent one, life as Curtis knows it comes to a screeching halt. Now, with three generations living under one roof, Curtis has come to the painful realization that he is now a permanent resident of the House of Payne.
